Chapter 30: Precious Smiles

I opened my eyes, feeling a little weight on my waist and warmth pressed against my back.

I turned around with a smile forming on my lips, knowing what it was. Though I wasn't used to waking up with anyone beside me, I could definitely get used to this coziness.

I observed his peaceful expression, still in high spirits from last night's event. No, we didn't have sex. I was talking about us getting together officially.

As if sensing my stare, his eyes fluttered open, letting me see his beautiful eyes from up close.

"Hey, good morning," I wished with a big smile.

Theo smiled too and pecked my lips shortly. "This is the best Christmas morning ever," he mumbled, cuddling closer.

"You indeed make a good pillow."

"I told you I would."

Last night, after our confession, we ended up sleeping on his bed because it was too hard to part from each other. He promised he wouldn't make any moves or do anything that I wasn't ready for yet, and I trusted him on that.
